In the Middle
you lit the candle at both ends
and wait there in the middle
to see which wick burns sprier
while thick wax forms its puddle...

arteries
I wish you weren't apart of me Traces of you flowing through my arteries Deprived of essentials like a commodity Wish you were someone who fought hard for me Take it all, at least what's left You've burnt this candle from both ends See the light through the plight Counteract the claustrophobic tesseract

A Mystery Unfolds
The tree of life is torn
 Between the darkness and the light
 Unable to conclude or choose
 Which is morally right

 And in all the fury
 The tree of life is struck
 By a bolt of indecision
 And it withers to the ground

through the conclaves of sullen asps
one could grasp a reason for being
perhaps its in the changing of the season
burn the candle at both ends

we shall discover it as the mystery unfolds...

Saving Grace
SAVING GRACE

In the middle of the universe, I stand
Where it all revolves around man
Selling and consuming disastrous blends 
Burning the candle at both ends 
Neglecting duty, overriding beauty
This story of the ages, never told by sages
Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats in the big car
Where small minds, busied and blind 
Lost the human race
NO ONE’S SAVING GRACE!

2.4.15:  J. Polatnick
Submission:  In the Middle of the Universe, I stand...

Tsunami Riding
Wasted years, all gone and past
trying to catch up for time lost being juvenile 

No time for regret, resentments have no place
Growing older burning the candle from both ends

my life is passing way to fast, 
friends come and go, asking 'how's life'

do you really want to know or just making grace
a rushing ocean with lifes ups and downs

the current rushing too many journeys on one path
can't slow down, don't dare look back.

I'm in the moment on the crest,
Tsunami riding...

Lunatic
The moons been up all night again
He’s looking rather pale
Been burning the candle at both ends
And now it’s beginning to tell
By the end of the month he will be
A shadow of his former self
It’s only a matter of time
Before people start to click
He’s not just an all night raver
But a total lunatic
He doesn’t seem to care though
Look at him up there
Sipping on the star juice 
Totally full of him self
Give him time 
His day will come
See if he’s looking on the bright side then....
